И солнце встаёт над руинами [I solntse vstayot nad ruinami] [Transliteration]

Ty govorish', a veter stonet v derev'yakh,

I shar zemnoy iz-pod nog uplyvaet.

Navernoe, proydyet kakoe-to vremya

Prezhde, chem ya vsye osoznayu.

Ty govorish', a ya stoyu, kak poslushnyy maneken

S prodyryavlennym serdtsem.

Mgnoven'e, i tselyy gorod razrushen.

Teper' mne nekuda det'sya.

Za tuchami mesyats ugryumyy skol'zit vo mgle

Navstrechu nepopravimomu.

I, kutayas' v svoy staryy sharf, ya smotryu,

Kak Solntse vstayet nad ruinami...

Raskinuv ruki, lezhu na bitom stekle,

Edva nadeyus' na to, chto kto-to uslyshit,

Chem bol'she slyez, tem gorizont vsye svetlee.

A nebo... vsye blizhe.

Nemerknushchaya krasota v snezhinkakh

Nad iskrami yagod ryabinovykh

Tak medlenno bledneet zvyezdnaya dal',

I Solntse vstayet nad ruinami...

Vzletayut vorony, kruzhatsya nad pepelishchem.

Kakoy tsenoy dostalas' mne eta mudrost'?

Vidimo, chtob stat' svetlee i chishche,

Nam nuzhno proyti po goryashchim uglyam.

Upavshie v vodu mosty odnazhdy

Ispolnyat neosushchestvimoe.

Pod peplom opyat' prorastayut tsvety

I Solntse vstayet nad ruinami...
